A flavorful and easy-to-make noodle dish with a spicy sesame twist.
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir the noodles occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water until cool. Toss with a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Rinsing the noodles in cold water stops the cooking process and keeps them firm.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the soy sauce and sugar. Simmer until the mixture becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes.
Keep stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, sesame oil, vinegar, water, and the soy sauce mixture until smooth. Adjust seasoning with cayenne pepper.
Add water gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
Toss the noodles with the dressing, green onions, and sesame seeds. Reserve some sesame seeds for garnish.
Mix gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve the noodles in a bowl or plate, garnished with the reserved sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.
For a vibrant presentation, sprinkle some chili flakes or chopped cilantro on top.
